CNN Can’t Quiiiite Figure Out Whether Donald Trump Or Hillary Clinton Is The Real Racist

CNN Can’t Quiiiite Figure Out Whether Donald Trump Or Hillary Clinton Is The Real Racist
By Evan Hurst - August 25, 2016 - 3:26pm

Let us review. Donald Trump called Hillary a “bigot” during a rally in Mississippi, because he’s hopelessly trying to pretend he can gin up support among black voters, for his obviously racist ass. Trump has been showing us throughout this entire campaign that he’s a homegrown extremist racist, or at least that he’s more than willing to play one on TV, and so he racistly told his white supporters in Mississippi that Hillary is THE REAL RACIST.

The same man whose rallies are literally #UnsafeSpaces for black folks; who talks about “my African-American,” because he has a black friend; who wishes he was “a black” because “a blacks” have it SO MUCH EASIER; who stood up last week and told black folks that their lives were basically worthless shit, so “what the hell do you have to lose” by supporting him.

“Mutual charges”? Because Both Sides Do It, right? Go get fucked, CNN, long and slow, by the flaming dildo of your own mediocrity.

They use that term whenever they can't come up with a valid explanation for their candidates actions.

While Trump is clearly a racist, Hillary pointed out how radical fringe elements now have a remarkable amount of influence but the press will just call it "racism day" and move on to drama.

I hate it when CNN (they are the worst), and when MSNBC (looking at you Andrea Mitchell) does the whole "Both sides accused each other of racism" schtick.

One side IS racist, one side is full of shit. All the equivalency bullshit can go to hell.

What's left of "the media" is bound and determined to see this as just one more tit for tat campaign mud slinging contest. Except it's not. Trump has a long history of racist words and actions. Sec. Clinton? I don't need to tell any one here about her lifetime of service. Clearly these two candidates couldn't be more different on this and a thousand other issues. But you will never hear that from a M$M more interested in banking corporate dollars than supporting our democracy.

There is a reason no one trusts the media anymore. They have proven over time they are incapable of telling the plain unvarnished truth.

The media has an agenda in this country and it is NOT to tell the truth to the American public, that's for damned sure!

The "talent" was pushing hard on Sec. Clinton's supposed email scandal reported by the AP. Dr. Dean pushed back describing the flawed research done for that article referencing the VOX debunking of the AP story. All of a sudden Dr. Dean said "This is just typical of the kind of bias and extortion that "journalists" do to get what they want..." He recounted an instance where a journalist threatened to write a nasty story about him unless he got access to ten years of his tax returns...

The "talent" was shocked. She bristled and started talking about the courageous work "journalists" do digging for the truth. Dr. Dean push back describing other instances of bias he had experienced personally and the obvious agenda of network political division heads...

The talent swallowed her tongue and they went to commercial. I couldn't believe what I had just seen.

I guess I needed reminding - the media is not your friend, it is the friend of corporations.
